Chapter 9: Dried, Parched Land Finale

………………..

Darien's POV

Damn why can't I ever keep my emotions under controls when she is around. Why does she affect me so much? She looked so hurt earlier. Did I make her cry? Ah why did I yell at her?

"Maybe it is because that you love her and you are too stubborn to admit it to yourself."

"Alexander, what did I tell you about reading my mind?"

"You said you loved it and you want me to read it all the time."

"Damn you, can't I have some privacy here? You are invading my personal space."

God damn him. Reading my mind all the time. Argh.

"You know I can still hear you loud and clear. So stop cursing me. You and Serena just never learn do you? Both of you curse me all day long. Sigh. I have to put up with you ungrateful people."

"How dare you call me ungrateful when you send me to this dried up land and you call me ungrateful!"

"I just came to give you a warning and you scream and yell at me. How rude."

"What warning?"

"Well, if you don't figure your feelings soon, you will lose something really important to you."

What is he talking about? Something important?

"Could you be more specific on that?"

"Have you not been serving me for all this time or what? Do you really think I will give you a straight answer? Anyway that's all I want to say. Bye now and stop cursing me in your thoughts."

Damn you.

"Nah uh uh. I thought I just told you not to curse me."

I hate this. I really do. Why do I have to be thrown in this mess? I wonder what Serena is doing right now? Why do my thoughts always stray back to her. I should go look for her and see if she got herself into more trouble. She is probably in her room

As I approach the room, I heard crying.

"Does he hate me?"

Is she crying because of me?

………………………..

Serena' POV

Why does he dislike me so much? I know it is not his fault for not remembering me, but doesn't deep down somewhere he would remember the friendship we once shared?

"Shhhh… Don't cry. He doesn't hate you. You are his family why would he hate you."

Demando is so nice. Sniff Sniff. I shouldn't always being crying. I should be strong so I would not be a burden to Darien.

Oh my God. He is hugging me so close. Damn could he tell I am not a guy! I don't think he will notice since I am kind of flat. I hope he don't notice or Darien will get mad at me again.

Just as I have thought of Darien, he walked into the room.

…………………..

Demando's POV

You don't know how glad I am to discover that I liked a girl not a guy. I am not GAY. Why did she hide her gender from me. I am going to join them on their journey, but if she does not want me to know, I would pretend I don't know. Plus this way I could get to know her better.

It feels so nice to have her in arms.

Yoink

………………………

Darien's POV

I walked to tell her that I do not hate, but what do I find but his arms around her. Comforting her! Comforting does not require that close a distance. He better let go soon. How dare he touch her!

Without thinking I just yanked her out of his arms. She looked up at me. Her eyes are all red. Am I the cause of your pain? My heart hurts at the thought of me causing her to cry.

"Demando, could you leave us alone for a bit? I have something to discuss with my brother."

I glared at his retreating form.

"Are you mad at me?"

I looked down at her. She looks so vulnerable. I placed my hands on her face and wiped her tears away.

"I am not mad at you. I could never be mad at you. Now stop crying."

I feel like I have said these words before. A sudden image of a little boy and little girl appeared in my mind.

…………………………..

An image of a little boy playing together with a little girl. As they were playing the girl accidentally pushes the boy too hard and causes him to fall hard on the ground, scraping his knee.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to push you so hard. Your are bleeding. I am so sorry. Are you mad at me?"

Sniff, Sniff

"Shhhh…. It is okay. I am not hurt that bad. See I can still walk. I could never be mad at you. Stop crying now. Smile I like to see your smile the most."

…………………………….

Serena's POV

He said the same exact words to me before. Does he remember? Is he starting to recover his memory? He looks so deep in thought right now. He looks so beautiful.

Next thing you know his face just starts to get closer to me. OMG he is going to kiss me.

Knock, Knock

"Are you guys finish talking? We have to set out for the temple of the goddess soon."

We broke apart from each other. I felt a blush appearing on my face. Would he really have kiss me if Demando haven't knock on the door.

"Umm.., Let's go."

"Aww… I thought he was going to kiss you. Why couldn't that other guy knock later!"

"Alexander, stay out of my head."

"What you don't like me anymore? I am hurt. Both you and Darien hates me. I am going to go sit in a little corner to cry now."

"Hey, don't you have something to tell me?"

"When did you get so smart?"

"Well, let's see every time you talk to me you have something vague to tell me and then go yeah you know I am not going to explain it."

"Hmmm…. What do I have to say to you? O yea I have nothing to tell you. I just wanted to eavesdrop on your thoughts. Now that I am finish eavesdropping. I will go now."

Argh that damn wizard always barging in on my privacy.

"Hey Ren, hurry up before we leave you."

"Wait up, don't leave me!"

"So where is this temple, Demando?"

We don't seem to be walking anywhere near the entrance of the village. In fact it appears that we are walking toward the middle of the village.

"The temple is right under this village.

…………………………

Demando's POV

"Yup it is right under the village."

I placed my arm around her and lead her toward the stairs that lead to the temple. I felt a chill run down my back. I turned around and noticed Darien glaring at me and looking ready to murder.

"I think Ren can walk by himself. You don't need to lead him."

He wedged himself between Ren and I. What a protective brother she has. If I want to get close to her, I have to get past him.

After a little bit of walking, we came to the entrance of the temple.

"Legends have said only the chosen one could open the door to this temple. Our village have been placed here to protect the temple from the invaders."

…………………………..

Serena's POV

We came to this weird looking door. The design of the door is very intricate and beautiful. Flowers and planets have been carved around the door and in the center of the door was a full moon with a handprint. There were these weird writing right below the moon.

"Put your hand on the handprint and read the words."

"What? Alexander?"

"Who else could it be?"

"But I can't read the writing?"

"Don't worry about that. Just read it."

I placed my hand on the door and started to read the words.

"ala suk almo yue kado, sabo ka"

(I command you as the wielder of the moon's power, open this door and let me pass.)

I watched in amazement as the door open after I said the words.

"How did you do that, Ren?"

"I don't know. The words just came to me and flowed out. Never mind that. Let's go in."

…………………

Darien's POV

We started to walk into the temple, but some unseen force have stopped Demando from entering. Suddenly we heard a voice spoke out.

"You are not one of the chosen. You may not enter."

"Wait for us here. We will be back."

It was as if it was Ice Age in here. Everything is frozen. We came to the center of the temple. Incase inside a frozen block of ice was a young woman. This must be the descendant of the goddess that was sealed.

"Hey, Serena. Think you could use your magic and break the seal."

"I don't know but I could try."

I watched as she approached the descendant. Just as she was going to place her hand on the ice, I saw something move at inhuman speed toward her.

"Watch out."

I grabbed her and moved her out of the way. I summon the sword the wizard have bestowed upon me.

"Take out your sword and prepare to fight. Be careful. That thing is very fast."

"How dare you address me as thing, you insolent fool. I am the most loyal servant of my lord, Versal. You should cower before me."

I look to the direction where the voice have came from and found a very badly dressed man.

"O yeah I am totally cowering in fear of your bad taste in your attire."

"How dare you mock me. Prepare to die."

He ran toward us with his claws. Damn he is heading toward Serena. She deflected his attack easily. Thank god I gave her sword lessons before we came into the village.

"Hey a little help here."

Shit! He is quick.

"AH!"

He delivered a blow to her that sent her flying to the wall. How dare he hurt her.

"ARGH."

I stabbed him with my sword and he turned into an ice statue and shattered.

"This is just an illusion, but until next time. Muah hahahahahhaha"

Usagi's POV

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you anywhere?"

He cares about me. He really cares about me.

"I am okay just a little bit bruised. See I could stand. Ouch! Hehe. Just a little bit sore that's all. Sorry I wasn't much of a help. Let's go release the descendant from her seal."

I placed my hand on the altar and started to recite words that is flowing into my mind.

"pon ka lami, ala ku samu. kabutte ga shun sa bora."

(O descendant of the goddess, I now release you from this seal. Awaken and restore this land to its former glory.)

I could feel the energy flowing through me and melting the frozen ice that have imprisoned the descendant.

"I did it. I free the descendant."

A sudden fatigue came over me and I blacked out.

Author's Note: Sorry about the long wait. I wanted to complete my other story first. ) Well the descendant have finally been free. Until next time. Stay Tune.
